Penventinnie Round

Penventinnie Round is the site of an ancient settlement. The trees are growing on a circular rampart or earthwork that dates from the Iron Age. To take the shot, I stood in the field entrance on the opposite side of the lane from Penventinnie, in SW7945.

Eeyore Piglet and Pooh

I think these toys are Eeyore Piglet and Pooh. They are weather-beaten, and there is nothing to explain why they have been placed in the middle of this triangular green beneath a small tree. Was it a sad event or a happy one?
